What is the difference between inductance and resistance?
In: Physics
Voltage is how many more (or less) charge carriers A has compared to B
Current is how quickly the charge carriers move from A to B
Resistance restricts electrical curent.
Inductance resists a change In current. It does this by storing energy in a magnetic field in a process known as energizing. Faraday’s Law describes this process
Capacitance resists a change in voltage. It does this by storing energy in an electric filed in a process known as charging. This occurs when you have two opposite charge carriers in close proximity but no viable path to each other eg. Two metal plates separated by a tiny insulation layer
